Equipment Management allows you to maintain a complete inventory of radio terminals and communication devices. Track equipment status, warranty information, technical details, and complete history from acquisition to decommissioning.

​
Creating New Equipment

Add new equipment to your inventory with detailed specifications:
1

Select Terminal Type

Choose the terminal type including brand, model, and usage category. The system maintains a catalog of terminal types with associated specifications.
2

Set Equipment Status

Assign an initial status: New, Used, Repaired, Decommissioned, Non-functional, Lost, Replacement, Temporary, or Under Review.
3

Enter Identification Details

Record essential identifiers:
  • TEI (Terminal Equipment Identity) - Required
  • ISSI (Individual Short Subscriber Identity) - Optional for new equipment
  • ISSI Name - Descriptive name for the ISSI
4

Add Ownership Information

Specify:
  • Provider: Who supplied the equipment (e.g., Patagonia Green, Telecom, Policía de Entre Ríos)
  • Owner: Current owner of the equipment
5

Configure Warranty Details

Track warranty status:
  • Check warranty coverage checkbox
  • Set warranty expiration date
6

Add Observations

Include any additional notes, specifications, or special considerations
The system validates that TEI numbers are unique. You cannot create duplicate equipment with the same TEI.

​
Searching Equipment

Find equipment quickly using multiple search criteria: Search by:
  • TEI number
  • ISSI number
  • Provider name
  • Owner name
The search feature performs partial matches, making it easy to locate equipment even with incomplete information. Results are paginated (40 items per page) and sorted by TEI in ascending order.

​
Viewing Equipment Details

Each equipment record displays:

Technical Information

  • Brand and model
  • Terminal type and category
  • TEI and ISSI identifiers
  • ISSI name

Status Information

  • Current status
  • Status change date
  • Provider and owner
  • Warranty status

Battery Details

  • Primary battery number
  • Secondary battery number (if applicable)

Additional Data

  • Warranty expiration date
  • Observations and notes

​
Editing Equipment

Update equipment information as needed: Editable Fields:
  • Equipment status
  • Status change date
  • ISSI and ISSI name
  • TEI (with validation)
  • Battery numbers (primary and secondary)
  • Provider and owner
  • Warranty status and expiration
  • Observations
The terminal type (brand/model) cannot be changed after creation. If you need to change the terminal type, you must create a new equipment record.
Validation Rules:
  • TEI field is required and must be unique
  • Warranty checkbox and expiration date work together
  • Status changes are logged with timestamps

​
Equipment Status Types

Brand new equipment that has never been deployed. Typically awaiting first installation.
Equipment currently in active service at a location or assigned to a resource.
Equipment that underwent maintenance and has been restored to functional status.
Permanently removed from service. No longer available for assignment.
Equipment that is not working and requires repair or replacement.
Equipment reported as missing or unaccounted for.
Equipment designated as spare parts for other units.
Equipment on temporary assignment or evaluation.
Equipment undergoing testing, evaluation, or quality assessment.

​
Deleting Equipment

When you delete equipment, the system:
  1. Removes all associated fleet records (flota_general)
  2. Deletes all historical movement records (historico)
  3. Permanently removes the equipment from inventory
Deletion is permanent and cascades to related records. Ensure you want to completely remove the equipment before confirming deletion.

​
Equipment History

View complete movement history for any equipment:
  • Access history from the equipment detail view
  • See all assignments chronologically (most recent first)
  • Track resource assignments and movements
  • View dates and movement types
  • Access observations for each movement
Historical data includes:
  • Assignment dates
  • Previous and current resources
  • Location changes
  • Movement types (installation, transfer, uninstallation, etc.)
  • Status changes
  • Attached documentation and images

​
Exporting Equipment Data

Generate Excel exports with complete equipment inventory:
  • All equipment details
  • Current status and locations
  • Provider and ownership information
  • Technical specifications
  • Export filename includes timestamp: ListadoEquipos_YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.xlsx
The equipment list integrates with the Fleet Management system. Once equipment is created, you can assign it to resources and track its complete lifecycle through the fleet module.

​
Integration with Fleet System

Equipment records serve as the foundation for:
  • Fleet assignments
  • Movement tracking
  • Resource allocation
  • Historical records
  • Audit trails
Any equipment not yet assigned to a resource appears in the available equipment list when creating new fleet assignments.

​
Best Practices

Maintain Accurate TEI Numbers

TEI is the primary identifier. Always verify accuracy when entering or updating.

Update Status Promptly

Keep equipment status current to ensure accurate inventory and availability tracking.

Track Warranties

Record warranty information to know when coverage expires and plan for renewals or replacements.

Use Observations Field

Document special conditions, configurations, or issues for future reference.

Review Before Deleting

Check equipment history before deletion. Consider changing status to “Decommissioned” instead for permanent record-keeping.
